Suzy Gonzales' death is the 14th confirmed suicide associated with the online discussion group, which the San Francisco Chronicle doesn't name. Its reporter writes: "On any given day, the Internet site is filled with hopeless rants about life's miseries, advertisements for suicide partners, and requests for feedback on self-murder plans."
Suzy sent six time-delayed e-mails to the Tallahassee police, telling them that she'd ingested cyanide and that they could find her at the Red Roof Inn.
When investigators entered her motel room, they discovered her corpse alongside the poison, which she'd carefully repackaged.
In her e-mail to her parents, Gonzales had a request for her memorial service: Please play "Fire and Rain," James Taylor's elegy to a friend who committed suicide.
